    Curing: filling the jar up without leaving empty room inside?

    For most growers, when the 'dry' cannabis is jarred, it will still contain enough moisture that the buds will clump together and become wetter as the moisture moves from the center of the buds outward. The more bud you pack in the jar initially, the more moisture you'll need to release. It...

    doublejj's Big 2017 Adventure...Wildwood Farm

    Best of Luck JJ, I think you're smart to keep things low key. No telling where the Feds are going with the medical and recreational cannabis and you know there are some in Washington who would love to stick it to California growers.

    Acquired a free greenhouse

    I'm guessing that greenhouses in California have little condensation due to our extremely dry summers. Is that correct or it a problem here too? I would understand a greenhouse by the coast having potential condensation issues but what about inland?

    Diluted Urine in 10:1 Ratio for Hydroponics and drain to waste. Growers Thoughts??

    I just read about an hour worth of info on the web about peeing in the garden and it was mostly very positive. For the those of you with compost piles, you can pee directly on your compost which is excellent advise if you have young male children or grandkids (male recommended only because of...

    20 gallon pots

    I have used 7.5 gallon pots to keep the plants I grew small enough to not be seen by my next door neighbor. Even with only about 4 - 6 hours of direct sun per day, the plants still grew to full maturity, just not nearly as large as the plants most guys grow here. They ended up being 4 - 5 feet...

    could pot be worthless in 2 years?

    Too many people are talking about cannabis being a commodity where people buy based on price alone. You have to look at weed the same way we treat bourbon, scotch, rum, tekillya, and vodka. You can buy a bottle of vodka for a few bucks or you can spend over $1 million/bottle, believe it or not...

    Curing using boveda pack

    Even with the Boveda packs, I'd check the buds twice daily. If the buds are soft and clump together and the buds stick to the jar due to the moisture, then dump them into a paperbag for 4 - 8 hours, then re-jar. As long as the buds re-hydrate and clump together, do NOT rely on the Boveda to...

    I'm not exactly sure who you're pointing the finger at - Clinton or Trump considering their alleged 'experiences' with Jeffrey Epstein - From an article in June 2016 - "And just last week, yet another “Jane Doe” filed a suit in New York accusing Epstein and Donald Trump of raping her at a...

    Yeh yeh I know , a is it ready question

    Unfortunately this statement is completely false. Checking trichomes when you have lots of white hairs still showing is a waste of time, the plant's just NOT ready yet. In your case, the plant looks real close. You have plenty of dark hairs and only a small fraction that are still white. If...

    Would you harvest these now?

    The more sugar leaves you leave on, the harsher the smoke will be. Test it out and see if you notice the difference. Also, FYI - In post #10 above, the live plant picture on the left still has plenty of white hairs. If you waited another 2 - 3 weeks for those hairs to darken and recede, you'd...

    biggest strain you have ever grown outside

    THC does NOT turn into CBD, my friend - I think you meant to say THC degrades into CBN. The longer you let the plant mature, it will 'over-ripen' and the trichomes WILL become more and more orange AND the result will be more of a couch like high, so you did get that part right.

    Curing Issue

    Put them in paper bags for a week in a cool, dry place. Put a hydrometer in the bag and check the humidity when you return. If the buds clump together still (unlikely) leave them bagged for another week. After being properly dried and 1 - 2 weeks in a paper bag, they should be safe to put in...

    Start plants early indoors

    Some of us buy clones and plant them in mid-May, some may even plant seeds in the ground in April, but the majority of the growers here start growing the plants indoor far earlier just like you mentioned. The goodnatured ribbing you got was typical RIU humor which means you're part of the team...

    straight in the ground or containers?

    I grow for personal use only and I'm sure I'm not nearly as big a smoker as some of you, so I prefer variety over quantity. Personally I prefer to grow 3 small 6 - 7' plants of different strains in 10 gallon containers rather than trying to grow 12 foot, 5 lb. monsters which would be a huge...

    Are there people who are still convinced there was the pedo ring at the pizzeria and it involved Clinton???? With all the stories proving it to be a lie, how can some people still defend the lie as being fact? As a friend of mine once said, when discussing people clinging to lies when there is...

    Pile of curing weed

    It's a serious question, your age lends insight into how much time you've been exposed to life experiences. I've absorbed all your input on this subject which you'd have to agree has been met with a fair amount of skepticism from other growers. Is there a reason you don't want to share your age...

    Bob - I've read you're entire thread, but I have one question I hope you won't mind - How old are you?
